So I hadn't realized how wet it had gotten in my car until it was too late. At first, it just seemed damp inside, then the windows would hardly defog and there was a musty smell. This has been over the course of the last 10 or so days while my car has been parked under a tree and it's been pouring rain here in the PNW. Today it became glaringly obvious that I had waited far too long to look into it. I didn't have a minor leak, I had somehow gotten nearly two quarts of water pooled in the side pockets and spare tire well of the trunk, as well as soaking the backs and bottom of my rear fold down seats. It looks to me like tree needles/branches/leaves/goop had built up around my old and cracked trunk seals to the point where it was wicking the water up and over them.
In summary, I'm a bone head.
Now to my question, the foam seats are soaked and molding a bit already. The seat belts had molded a bit, so I unbolted them and scrubbed them out with dish soap so they're good to go. If it were the summer time, I'd just use some foaming carpet cleaner on the seats, scrub them out good, turn my pressure washer on and hose them out. I can still do that, but then what do I do with them? It's 150,000% humidity here and anything that sits outside pretty much stays wet until May. I don't want to bring the seats inside because I don't want that 1000 butt/mold/wet poly foam smell in my house while they dry.
I know someone in the GRM community has dealt with this before, so please hit me with your vast knowledge!
Really didn't want to have to do that.
